The show gave administrators, directors, cafeteria workers, teachers, parents and students alike the opportunity to try firsthand the school breakfast/lunch foods that could potentially be served in the Lufkin ISD cafeterias.

The Academy develops leadership capacity in participants to enable them to progress as leaders on their campuses and in the district.

The Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.

“Our recipe for success is student feedback. It is critical in determining what makes it on the menu.  We discuss with the campus managers what their kids want. It’s our goal to provide “kid friendly” menus to ensure that kids are actually eating the food and not throwing it away.  If kids are hungry, they aren’t focused. If they’re not focused, they can’t learn.”   

Lufkin ISD Superintendent Dr. LaTonya Goffney was named the Texas Superintendent of the Year on Saturday in Dallas.
